LUTHVAR FIELD · SURFACE SELECTION & EVIDENCE

Select the right field turf. Understand what the evidence proves.

Compare football, hockey and rugby playing-surface pathways using Apollo's existing technical references. A supplier's product test, an expired certificate and a finished-field approval are not the same thing. This guide shows the outstanding checks before a quotation can become an exact specification.

Complete system

Turf, infill, shock layer, prepared base and drainage must work together. A carpet dimension alone cannot establish playing performance.

Product evidence

A product report only supports the construction, test conditions and classification identified in that particular document.

Completed-field evidence

Where required, field certification concerns a specific installation. It does not automatically transfer to another site, surface or date.

01 / CHOOSE THE REQUIREMENTS

Start with the sport and how the field will operate.

Changing an answer updates the comparison and evidence list; it does not automatically approve a system.

02 / CONDITIONAL SURFACE PATHWAYS

Football turf options for technical review.

The order reflects the stated project requirements. It is not a product ranking, availability claim or endorsement of performance.

REVIEW 01FOOTBALL

Performance / club football

Long-pile turf with project-designed infill and any required elastic layer

Training grounds, clubs and selected competition briefs

Verify before specification

Match the exact carpet, infill and shock-layer build-up to current sports tests and any finished-field requirement.

REVIEW 02FOOTBALL

Training / community football

High-use system selected around programme and planned maintenance

Schools, community hubs and academy training

Verify before specification

Review usage hours, resilience, base/drainage and maintenance before determining the exact system.

REVIEW 03FOOTBALL

Reduced-infill / non-infill candidate

Selected reduced-infill or non-infill construction; not universally interchangeable

Projects examining an alternative maintenance or materials strategy

Verify before specification

Obtain complete system test results and check play behaviour, heat, maintenance and governing-body acceptance.

Project checks still open

  • Base suitability requires a current site survey; no surface or shockpad specification can be finalised.
  • Drainage performance is unresolved and must be designed or surveyed before selecting the surface.
  • Maintenance equipment, staffing and operating responsibilities are not yet confirmed.
03 / TECHNICAL DOCUMENT STATUS

What Apollo's existing records do—and do not—establish.

The labels below describe the available records as reviewed in the project, not a fresh check of a federation's live register today. Product names and upstream supplier identities are intentionally omitted.

Historical / expiredDated installed-field exampleRecorded source listing; not matchedExact report mismatchUnreconciled recordsNot supplied

50 mm · historical field example

Historical / expired field example

A Norwegian field's FIFA Quality Pro reference expired in 2024; this concerns that earlier installation only.

Next evidence check

Do not use that document to certify another field. Confirm the exact proposed full system and testing pathway.

50 mm · separate dated field example

Dated installed-field reference; live status to recheck

A separate Greek field is described in Apollo's records as holding FIFA Quality field evidence dated to October 2027. It is a different installation from the earlier expired example.

Next evidence check

Check the original field certificate ID, the live register and actual scope. It is not an approval for a new field.

60 mm football reference A

Current exact-field document not supplied

Product construction details exist in the source record, but no current matching FIFA field evidence is held in this comparison pack.

Next evidence check

Obtain latest supplier system build-up, current test reports and any destination-field evidence.

60 mm · historical field example

Historical / expired field example

One earlier completed field's FIFA Quality record is identified as expired in the existing project materials.

Next evidence check

Historical evidence cannot establish current approval for a proposed field.

60 mm · separate dated field example

Dated installed-field reference; live status to recheck

A different Portuguese installation is described in the existing records as holding a field certificate dated to September 2028; it is not the earlier expired field.

Next evidence check

Confirm field identity, current register entry and full documented scope. A new field requires separate evaluation.

Important: A supplier/manufacturer certification, product listing, independent product test and finished-field certificate describe different scopes. Historical documents are retained for traceability, not offered as proof of an approved new field. Conflicting dates and unmatched constructions remain unresolved until the original document and current register position can be checked.

04 / PREPARE A BETTER SUPPLY ENQUIRY

Bring the whole field brief to the technical review.

A site survey, base details and field-use programme often matter as much as the first product choice. The selected answers will carry into the existing LUTHVAR Turf Project Brief.

01

Playing programme and competition/tender requirement

02

Field dimensions, existing geometry, access and survey

03

New field versus removal/replacement and condition of lower layers

04

Base flatness, drainage, water movement and climate exposure

05

Carpet, infill, elastic/shock layer and joining/line construction

06

Usage hours, brushing, infill checks, cleaning and maintenance resources

07

Exact current model evidence versus any separate completed-field test

08

Supply, receiving, installation, handover and local approvals

Continue with your selected football requirements

We'll carry the sport, project type, climate, maintenance, requested evidence and open issues into the quotation preparation form. Site works, installation and statutory sign-off remain with the local project team.
